This article is about the non-glazed block. For the smelted form, see Glazed Terracotta.

Terracotta (previously known as hardened clay) is a block formed from clay, with a hardness and blast resistance comparable to stone. It can be stained in the same 16 colors that wool can be dyed, although the color is tinted orange.

Red, orange, yellow, brown, white, light gray and unstained terracotta can be found naturally in mesa biomes. This yields a large quantity of terracotta. Blue and orange terracotta can also be found in desert temples.

Terracotta has the same blast resistance as most other stone blocks, which is significantly higher than the block of clay before being smelted. A block of terracotta when one meter away from an explosion will protect any blocks behind it, though it will be destroyed in the process.
